NERF OMOROTH.

[poobah_kryos]

The tentacle spawns have FAR too many HP and spawn too fast. This boss is the biggest complaint I have seen on these boards and I can see why.

I have full galaxite weapons and armor, food potions and still cant kill him.

[Winsyrstrife]

For my fights with Omoroth, I used:

scholar hood
scholar cloak
octarine pants
conch shell necklace
spine ring
white glass ring
turtle shell

Crunchy pepper wrap (I think?, don't remember)

Stoneskin / healing potions.

Weapon was Phantom Spark, but Scholar's Staff is also a good choice.

With running perks "Balanced Stance" and "On Your Toes", it was manageable. For large parts of the fight, I was standing in place, pelting Omoroth until it moved, then repeat. Dodge kicked in consistently. For the tentacles, I would find a place in between, out of striking distance. Later in the fight, that is harder to do. I gave up trying to kill tentacles, went with shake and bake or out of reach instead.

Ra-Akar gave me a good thrashing. Barely made it out alive.

This would be my suggestion as well. Just stay out of their reach and otherwise ignore them. I don't know what your dodging strategy is like, but if you move around a lot I'd suggest trying to make small, controlled movements instead — that way you're less at risk of accidentally moving into range of a tentacle slap.

I also agree that Ra-Akar is much more difficult than Omoroth; those tracking projectiles are no joke and necessitated a specialized gear loadout to deal with, whereas I fought Omoroth with what I had already been wearing.

Apoplogies for the slight derail, I realise this thread is about Omoroth not Ra-Akar. Just had to reply to Koumori.

All you need is your best dps gear and preferably a good ranged weapon (plus food etc.). To dodge the homing orbs don't try and out run them, pull them away from Ra-Akar and then do a little circle around them, they can't turn sharply enough to hit you - takes a little practice ofc.

My problem is that by the time he reaches the rage portion of the fight
(when it turns red) there are so many tentacles that I cant move anywhere because of how many there are. Its ridiculous. I use a LOT of food, have the better healing potions and it still isnt enough. If the boss gets stronger because you have another player with you that might be part of my problem. I play with my wife and she.... dies about every 30 seconds. I at least make it to the red portion of the fight no problem, but by then the stage is full.

Yeah, two players make it roughly twice as hard; then scaling gets easier.

If you're surviving up to the enrage stage then it sounds like a dps issue and not a 'git gud' issue.

With full Galaxite you've got a lot of crit damage - what's your crit chance % looking like? Might be worth swapping a few items for damage % and/or crit chance etc. I assume you're using a ranged weapon? Have a quick look at the armour, weapons and accessories sections on https://corekeeper.wikizet.com/en/Core_Keeper_Wiki to see if anything easy to get takes your fancy.

Also what level are your skills? On the low side or mid 70-80s? Might be worth trying to up ranged and vitality a bit at least (horrid grind I know).

Damage is king - the higher you can push it usually the better off you'll be - even at the sacrifice of survival stats (Dodge is fun when high enough, but takes ages to kill anything).

Edit: And reinforce everything if you aren't already. Ooh Carrock and Puffungi food (or better) and Guardian pots will help with survival too.

This boss was already nerfed on Feb 8th and spawns less tentacles so any further nerfing would make him more of a shadow (of his former self) than he already is now. I would suggest you work on getting Paladin gear and use a Galaxite Chakraw against him. Combining that set with a guardian potion makes you pretty hard to kill since your dodge rate with 1-2 rings puts you upwards of 40%+ while also boosting your crit rate to 30-50% depending on accessories.

Omoroth is NOT a hard boss fight even on the hardest difficulty setting. So no, he doesn't need a nerf beyond what was already nerfed on him to begin with. You just need to get better at the game or find friends to play with.

All the bosses aren't hard with some prep work. Galax armor is only good if you can avoid getting hit in general. Otherwise you might want to use the octarine armor to boost your atk spd as your hp drops.

If you are still struggling to kill them, max out your gardening skills to get the golden plants upgrades. The Puffungi, carrock, pewpaya, and pinegrapple have the best boosting effects especially their golden form.

Next is hunt for the runesong and phantom spark. They will allow to not need repairing them while doing nice base dmg.

with massive over-prep, this particular boss is still too much; it really does come down to the melee tentacles being endless

[LokoLG]

I was on boat with scholar complet, dodge neklace, fire ring(it is from lava dungeon - makes enemies burning) and ranged dmg ring(can be crafted) ,sholar staff as weapon,off hand that glove - crit to burning enemies, golden food for ranged dmg and boss dmg reduction + 50 basic HPpotions (in every boss fight i used max 3 basic HP potions). I respect gardening for poison tree for more crit. It was really easy. With this was every boss easy. I just switch staff for chackram, because is more fun. :) You can overprep for normal mod. I recomend grind gardening for gold food and respect on poison before boss ( you can respect multiple times and it is only 200). And i did not attack tentacles, only boss. It was fast with fire and poison crit.

Sorry for my english it is nightmare.

Tried him again after some of the advice I got from here. It really was a case of not enough DPS. I was tanky and could weather most hits but the fight would just drag on. he even despawned mid fight a few times. This time however, it was a 45 second fight from start to finish. And no one died. Thanks for the advice kind strangers!!!
